Structure of 2-{2-[3-methyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) cyclobutyl]-2-oxoethyl}isoindole-1,3-dione

2-{2-[3-Methyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)cyclobutyl]-2-oxoethyl}isoindole-1,3-dione (C₂₄ H₂₅NO₃) was synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with unit cell parameters: a = 14.109(9) Å, b = 14.130(8) Å, c = 12.152(6) Å, = 105.62(5)°, = 113.75(4)°, = 98.78(5)°, V = 2039.8(19) ų, D _c= 1.223 g/cm³, and Z = 4. The crystal structure has two crystallographically independent molecules, I and II. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular C—H···O interactions, forming a continuous chain. The dihedral angles between the N-substituted phthalimide moiety and cyclobutane ring in molecules I and II are 60.37(14) and 68.18(18)°, respectively.     

Crystal and molecular structure of: 5-(1-oxoethyl)-1-methyl-2-(5-bromo-6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-7-one and 5-(1-oxoethyl)-1-methyl-2-(5-bromo-6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane

X-ray crystallographic studies of the two title compounds have shown that the molecules crystallize in the same triclinic space group, , with very similar cell dimensions. For C₂₁H₂₁BrO₄,a=12.056(5),b=13.206(5),c=7.595(3)Å, =90.38(3), =106.07(3) and =124.42(3)° and for C₂₁H₂₃BrO₃,a=12.076(6),b=13.090(5),c=7.490(3)Å, =92.65(5), =104.90(5) and =124.55(5)°. Both compounds possess the oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane bridged ring system and differ only at the carbon to the ring oxygen where the Csp³ in the ether is replaced by Csp²=O in the lactone. Both cyclohexane rings adopt distorted chair conformations and the lactone and ether rings approximate closely to the envelope conformation. The bromine substituent at C(4) results in distortion of the naphthalene ring. Both molecules pack with the naphthalene rings parallel to each other with interplanar spacings of 3.71 Å in the ether and 3.66Å in the lactone.     

Structure and conformation of the 6-carboxylic acid and the 6-methylsulfonate of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin

The 6-methylsulfonate (I) and the 6-carboxylic acid (II) of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin both crystallize in the space groupP2₁/n withZ=4. Unit cell parameters of I are:a=13.398(7),b=14.553(2),c=8.945(2) Å, =99.16(2)°; those of II are:a=6.010(16),b=25.741(16),c=10.505(10) Å, =100.05(16)°. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares, from room-temperature data obtained with an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, to conventionalR factors of 0.035 for I and 0.041 for II. The methylsulfonate group of I is disordered except for the sulfur atom and in II, which forms hydrogen-bonded dimers through the –COOH group, the hydrogen atom of the –COOH group is distributed equally between two positions.The conformation and molecular parameters of the 2,4-bis(trichioromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin fragment for both compounds is very similar to that in 6-nitro-2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin (Irving A., and Irving H. M. N. H. (1986)J. Cryst. Spectrosc. Res. 16, 703). The dioxin ring has an approximate envelope conformation with a pseudoequatorial –CCl₃ group in the 2-position and a pseudoaxial –CC1₃ group in the 4-position. C(ring)-C_eq(Cl₃) is 1.525(5) Å for I and 1.536(6) Å for II, whereas the C(ring)-C_ax(Cl₃) bond length is 1.547(5) Å for I and 1.550(4) Å for II. The chemical shifts of the two protons in the heterocyclic ring do not appear to be altered by these changes in the 6-substituent.     

Crystal structure of 1,1-diphenyl-2,4-dimethyl-5-(N-benzamide)-1,3-pentadiene

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic (C₂₆H₂₅NO): space groupP2₁/c,a=16.565(3),b=10.328(2),c=12.621(3) Å,=104.02(3)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by block-matrix least-squares to giveR=0.056 andR _w =0.061 for 1613 reflections above 2(I). The amide moiety is tilted by 19.3(2)° with respect to the mean aromatic ring plane. The two othergem phenyl rings subtend a dihedral angle of 112.2(4)° to each other. The molecules are joined in the solid by N-HO hydrogen bonds.     

The crystal structures of p-iodo-N-(p-cyanobenzylidene)aniline and p-cyano-N-(p-iodobenzylidene)aniline

The crystal structures of the isomers NC–C₆H₄–CH=N–C₆H₄–I (CN/I) and I–C₆H₄–CH=N–C₆H₄–CN (I/CN) have been determined. CN/I is triclinic, space group P1¯ with a = 7.504(3), b = 11.936(4), c = 7.304(2) Å, = 93.09(2), = 110.49(2), = 99.04(2)°, V = 601.1(3) ų, Z = 2, and D _x = 1.818(1) g cm^–3. In both compounds there are chains of molecules held together by CN···I interactions, with N···I distances of 3.15 and 3.26 Å, respectively. The chains form similar two-dimensional sheets, which, however, stack differently in the two compounds.     

X-ray crystal structures of twocis-Mo(CO)4{(Ph2PO)2P(O)R} (R=Me,MeO-p-C6H4) complexes with unusual Mo-PPh2-O-P(O)R-O-PPh2 chelate rings

The X-ray crystal structures of twocis-Mo(CO)₄{(Ph₂PO)₂P(O)R} (I:R=Me; II: R=C₆H₄-p-OMe) complexes are presented. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/n (a=11.566(1),b=10.045(2),c=25.959(4)Å;=97.64(1)°;V=2989.0 ų;Z=4). Complex II crystallizes in the triclinic space group P¯1 (a=8.868(2),b=11.552(2),c=16.818(3)Å,=78.32(1)°,=93.70(2)°, =86.59(2)°,V=1679.0 ų,Z=2). The coordination geometry of the molybdenum in each of these complexes is a slightly distorted octahedron. The six-membered chelate rings in these complexes have twist boat configurations with both ends flattened. The two rings differ in the degree of twisting in the boat and in the degree to which both ends of the boat are distorted from the ideal configurations. The twisting is greater in II, but the distortion is greater in I. Both appear to be due to the differing sizes of the substituent on the phosphonate phosphorus with larger substituents giving less twisting and flattening.     

Crystal and molecular structure of [(C6H5)3Sb]3CuCl·CHC13

The X-ray crystallographic structure determination of [(C₆H₅)₃Sb]₃ Cu(I)Cl·CHC1₃ reveals that the compound crystallizes in the triclinic space groupP¯1 witha=18.827(3),b=14.279(3),c=14.399(3) Å,=84.43,=87.39(2), and=75.18(1)°,V=2734.7(9) ų,Z=2. Least-squares refinement based on 4689 independent observed data [(F _obs)²3(F _obs)²], resulted in a finalR value of 0.064. The cocrystallized solvent molecules were highly disordered. The coordination about Cu(I) of three Sb(C₆H₅)₃ molecules and one Cl ligand is approximately tetrahedral. The Cu-Cl distance, 2.235(5) Å, is extremely short in comparison to previously reported Cu-Cl distances in four-coordinate Cu(I) complexes. In keeping with the short Cu-Cl distance are very long Cu-Sb distances, av. 2.554(5) Å.     

Crystal structure of bis(potassium hydrogenl-malate)·malic acid, 2[K+(C4H5O5)]·C4H6O5

The crystal structure of bis(potassium hydrogenl-malate)·malic acid, 2[K⁺(C₄H₅O₅)^–]·C₄H₆O₅, has been determined: C₁₂H₁₆K₂O₁₅, M _r =1913.9, orthorhombic, space groupP2₁2₁2₁ a=7.719(5),b=7.916(5),c=29.863(20) Å,V _c=1824.7 ų,Z=4. The structure was determined by a new application of theDirdif procedure using MoK automatic diffractometer X-ray data, and refined by full-matrix least squares toR=0.059 for 962 reflections. A question on space-group assignment and composition was resolved only after the structure had been determined. The conformation of the central carbon skeleton of all three crystallographic independent malate moieties isanti. The potassium ions are coordinated by eight oxygen atoms, forming face-sharing distorted square antiprisms.

The crystal and molecular structure of bis(N,N-di-n-butyldithiocarbamato)gold(III)dibromoargentate(I), Au(S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂)₂AgBr₂, has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray methods. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupC2/c with unit cell dimensions:a= 17·39(1)b = 18·65(1);c = 9·199(6) Å; = 93·9(1)°;Z=4. Intensities were collected on an automatic diffractometer. The structural parameters were refined by least-squares methods to a conventionalR factor of 0·048 for 854 non-zero observed reflexions. The structure consists of Au(S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂)2⁺ and AgBr₂ ^– ions. The gold is in planar coordination with four sulphur atoms, the two crystallographically non-equivalent Au-S bond lengths being 2·357(8) and 2·324(8) Å. The silver is linearly coordinated, the Ag-Br bond lengths being 2·450(5) Å. The ionic packing in the structure differs from that in the analogous Au(S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂)₂AuBr₂ complex.The authors are grateful to Professor J. J. Steggerda for his continuous interest and to Mr. W. P.

Synthesis and crystal structures of two potential gem-di(pyrazolyl)cycloalkane ligands, 1,1-di(pyrazol-1-yl)cyclohexane [C6H10(C3N2H3)2] and 1,1-di(pyrazol-1-yl)cyclopentane [C5H8(C3N2H3)2]

The species 1,1-di(pyrazol-1-yl)cyclohexane, C₁₂H₁₆N₄, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 8.340(2), b = 14.281(5), c = 10.153(3) Å, = 106.86(2)°, and Z = 4. The cyclohexane moiety has the chair conformation. The congener, 1,1-di(pyrazol-1-yl)cyclopentane, C₁₁H₁₄N₄, while not isomorphous, also crystallizes in space group P2₁/c with a = 14.350(2), b = 6.776(1), c = 11.043(2) Å, = 100.68(1)°, and Z = 4. The cyclopentane ring has a conformation in which four carbon atoms are essentially coplanar, while the fifth (that with the two pyrazolyl substituents) lies 0.63 Å from this plane, resulting in a bend of 41.3° across the C(2)···C(5) vector. The hydrogen atoms in each structure were located directly and their coordinates refined.     

Crystal structures of two isomeric oximes. (EE)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-3-thiocyanatopropenaldoxime and (Z)-5-methyl-6-phenyl-1,3-thiazin-2-one oxime

The crystal structure of two isomeric oximes, C₁₁N₁₀N₂OS have been studied by X-ray diffraction. The open-chain thiocyanato derivative is somewhat'less dense and crystallizes with the orthorhombic space group Pbcn;a,b,c=18.718(1), 10.601(3), 11.528(1) Å,Z=8.

A series of complexes of di-2-pyridylketone semicarbazone (Hdips) and Mn(II), Co(II), Co(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) nitrates were synthesized and characterized by means of IR spectroscopy and for cobalt and nickel by X-ray crystal structures. The results are in agreement with the formulae: Mn(Hdips)₂(NO₃)₂·2H₂O, [Co(Hdips)₂](NO₃)₂·H₂O (I), [Ni(Hdips)₂](NO₃)₂·H₂O (II), Cu(Hdips)(NO₃)₂·2H₂O, [Co(dips)₂](NO₃)·2H₂O (III). The structure of I and II are monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c, with, I,a=15.980(4),b=11.531(2),c=16.170(2)Å;=104.20(2)°,Z=4,R=0.032; II,a=16.109(5),b=11.480(3),c=16.135(6)Å;=104.15(2)°,Z=4,R=0.069.

In these complexes the ligand is tridentate via carbonylic oxygen, semicarbazone and pyridine nitrogens forming each two five membered chelate rings with the metal in a distorted octahedral geometry.     

Structures of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]-quinazolin-6-one and its hydrochloride

C₁₁H₁₁N₃O, m.p. 243°C, P2/n,Z=4,a=5.843(2),b=14.241(3),c=11.102(1) Å, =93.30(2)°,R=0.046; C₁₁H₁₁N₃O·HCl·H₂O, Pca2₁,Z=8,a=18.640(2),b=8.894(2),c=14.404(2)Å,R=0.062. The molecules of the free base are in 1H-tautomeric form. N(1)-H...N(11) hydrogen bonds join molecules of the free base into dimers, which enable tautomeric rearrangement (not observed in this study) also in the solid state without any changes in molecular packing. The quinazoline system deviates slightly from planarity and benzene electrons are partially localized at C(7)–C(8) and C(9)–C(10) bonds as seen from their lengths of about 1.375 Å, while other bonds in the benzene ring are at least 0.02 Å longer.     

Crystal and molecular structure of 3,5-bis(N,N-diethylimonium)-1,2,4-trithiolane-tetraiododi-μ-iododiinercurate(II)

The crystal and molecular structure of 3,5-bis(N,N-diethylimonium)-1,2,4-trithiolane-tetraiododi--iododimercurate(II), (S₃C₂N₂(C₂H₅)₄)Hg₂I₆, has been determined from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The monoclinic unit cell, space groupP2₁/c, witha = 12·574(3),b = 15·777(4),c = 14·560(4) Å, and = 90·83(4) °, contains four formula-units. Three-dimensional intensity data were collected on an automatic diffractometer. Atomic parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a conventionalR value of 0·05 for 1380 independent non-zero reflexions. The structure consists of (3,5-bis(N,N-diethyl-imonium)-1,2,4-trithiolane)²⁺ and Hg₂I ₆ ^2– ions. The cation contains a five-membered ring, S-S-C-S-C, which can be formed by oxidation of dithiocarbamato and thiuramdisulfide complexes.     

Influence of the spectator cation on the structure of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II)

The structures of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato (pdc^2–) complexes of cobalt, nickel, and copper have been studied. The stoichiometries and structures are very much dependent on whether KOH, Et₄NOH, or NaOH is used in the synthesis to deprotonate the H₂pdc ligand. Crystallographic results are: (1) K₂[Co(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.637(2)Å, b = 13.480(1)Å, c = 8.200(1)Å (2) K₂[Ni(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.648(1)Å, b = 13.375(1)Å, c = 8.2393(8)Å (3) [Co₂(H₂O)₅(pdc)₂] · 2H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 8.3880(6)Å, b = 27.384(2)Å, c = 9.6110(8)Å, = 98.271(6)° (4) [Ni(Hpdc)₂] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 13.679(1)Å, b = 10.0450(9)Å, c = 13.767(2)Å, = 115.184(7)° (5) Na₆[Co(H₂O)₆][Co(pdc)₂]₄ · 28H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 13.363(1)Å, b = 8.437(1)Å, c = 40.689(3)Å, = 91.288(5)° (6) Na[Ni(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 11.5H₂O, monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 4, a = 15.200(2)Å, b = 22.299(2)Å, c = 8.3596(7)Å, = 118.894(7)° (7) Na[Cu(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 9.516(4)Å, b = 14.917(6)Å, c = 12.247(5)Å, = 92.00(5)°. The potassium and sodium complexes have extensive K⁺—H₂O and Na⁺—H₂O networks. The fact the Et₄N⁺ ion does not appear in any of the complexes is likely due to the fact that it is incapable of forming the intricate cation—water and hydrogen-bonding networks observed in all of the other structures.     

Crystal structure of (E)-5-hydroxypyrrolizidin-3-one and (Z)-5-thioketalpyrrolizidin-3-one

The crystal structures of (E)-5-hydroxypyrrolizidin-3-one (2) and (Z)-5-thioketalpyrrolizidin-3-one (3) have been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques and refined by full-matrix least squares.

Molecule 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c witha=12.947(14) Å,b=10.553(14) Å,c=9.629(14) Å,=101.4(1), andZ=4. The calculated density for both molecules is 1.33 g cm^–1. FinalR-factors were 5.1% for2 and 8.59% for3. The x-ray results showed that a change in configuration occurred in the reaction going from2 to3.

The central Cd atom exhibits an octahedral geometry composed of a Cl₄N₂ core. The Cd-N bond distance is 2.392(2) Å. Cd–Cl distances are 2.5919(9) and 2.671(1) Å.

The crystal structure of [(⁵-C₅H₅)₂HfO]₃·C₆H₅Me has shown that the compound is not isostructural with its zirconium analog. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupCmcm with well-refined parameters associated with the organometallic moiety and the toluene molecule, whereas [(⁵-C₅H₅)₂ZrO]₃·C₆H₅Me has been reported to belong to the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c with a badly disordered molecule of crystallization. The hafnium derivative exhibits unit cell constantsa=12.322(3),b=17.473(4),c=17.836(4) Å, andZ=4 forD _c =1.84 g cm^–3. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a finalR value of 0.062 for 1243 independent observed reflections. The trimer resides on a site of crystallo-graphicmm symmetry. The (⁵-C₅H₅)₂Hf units are bridged together by oxygen atoms at an average Hf-O distance of 1.95(2) Å.
